An article regarding Gobots and Transformers

I found something that I thought was kinda funny so decided to post the link here:

Interesting points were raised about which ones would be good crossovers. Hmm...
The only ones I can picture would be Rocklords being used as soccerballs by the Dinobots.

If the children of the 80’s are really, truly honest with themselves, then they would admit both shows had their own qualities.

The only qualities I see in Gobots over Transformers are:
1/ The Gobots (as a toyline) came before Transformers. Transformers was created by Hasbro in competition with Tonka's Machine Men.
2/ Gobot toys were generally cheaper (hence Clerk II referring to Gobots as "K-Mart Transformers").
3/ Gobots were unafraid to have female characters. Female characters based on toys.

...other than that, Gobots SUCK.

GOBOTS THAT SHOULD BE TRANSFORMERS

* #6 - PATH FINDER

The Guardian Path Finder has a very unique transformation: that of a flying saucer. Transformers easily need more Flying Saucer alt-modes. OK, I know that the Autobots already have Cosmos, but you’ve got to admit Path Finder looks cooler.

S/he knows about Bug Bite but not Pathfinder?! (o_O)

I have a soft spot for the Machine men and Rocklords crossover movie.


I think its cancerous

Seriously though, I like the movie.

Rewatching some Machine Men cartoons recently on YouTube I'm reminded that the show did suck. Really honestly, Wheelie is nothing compared to Scooter. Many of the toys are cool and I have affection for the Crasher toy and character.
